Although we're yet to get to know the bubbly blonde, she made headlines this month after making an awkward gaffe during her first encounter with the bachelor. Their first conversation went a little something like this.
Abbie: What do you do?
Matt: I'm an astrophysicist.
Abbie: OK, I'm a Gemini.
Matt: I'm a Leo.
Brianna, 24, WA

Brianna describes herself as having "no filter" and is on the hunt for a man who will not only appreciate her sense of humour but will "be her best friend" through thick and thin.
Although she's a clerical officer by day, the 24-year-old claims "I can do a headstand, a great fake sneeze and talk with water in my mouth."
Fingers crossed her talents might help win Matt over!
Cassandra, 33, SA

The successful Jewellery designer says she's probably still single because she has "high standards" when it comes to finding the right match. Planning to win Matt over by "just being myself", the businesswoman says her dream date would be "getting "pampered with massages followed by snorkelling and good food".
Chelsie, 28, VIC

The stunning Melbourne-based chemical engineer had a romantic first encounter with the affable Bachelor, bonding over the chemical of love. Although she oozes confidence, Chelise says she "hasn't been on many dates before", so her dream date would be "going to the beach or something"!
Danush, 34, VIC
Instagram:@danush_deravi
She might be witty, intelligent and stunning, but Danush says she's long been unlucky in love.
"I focused a lot on my career and my studies. I haven't met the right guy at the right time," she said. "But I've watched this show work for some people and thought, 'Why couldn't it work for me?' Hopefully the timing is right now."
Elly, 24, NSW
Instagram: @ellymiles
Described by her friends as a "classic Aussie girl and a bit of a bogan", Elly says she's ready to settle down but admits "The last person I opened up to broke my heart. I'm scared to be in the situation again where I don't feel good enough for someone."
Her ideal date?
"I find sit-down dinners can put a lot of pressure on you to have conversation flow. Hence why a fun activity is always a good option and a good chance to have a bit of banter! E.g. fishing, going to the beach etc.
"If I let my imagination run wild, a dream date for me would be a day full of outdoor activities like fishing (and actually catching heaps of fish) and mud crabbing then heading off to a beach where we'd cook up our catch in a camp oven. Then spend the evening around the fire, listening to music."
Emma, 32, NSW
Instagram:@miss_emma_roch
Although she's called Australia home for the last eight years, the fashion brand manager was born and raised in Ireland! If she's given the final rose, Emma says she hopes Matt will love her fur babies Teddy and Bear just as much as she does!
Georgie, 32, QLD
Instagram: @georginajpowell
Born in England, the cosmetic nurse— who describes herself as "hardworking, loyal, independent, honest and loving"— says her ideal date would be something super casual followed by, "cheese and wine with some live music".
So basically every Bachelor date we've seen so far!
Hannah, 25, VIC
Instagram: @hannahecha
"I'm looking for a man who is not just a great sales pitch but also a great product," Hannah told NW magazine. "I'm hoping we will share the same dorky sense of humour and then it's just a matter of working my womanly charm, batting my eyelids and showing off my lion-taming skills!"
Helena, 25, WA
Instagram: @helenasauzier
The Western Australian-based blonde beauty— who had Matt's attention from the outset after flirting with him in French— says the next person she dates is going to be The One. And in 10 years time, she hopes to be "happily married with three beautiful children. Working in a job that I love and that fulfils me".
Isabelle, 29, QLD
The Pilates instructor— who's described by her friends as "bossy, dominating and the centre of attention"— is hoping to dazzle Matt with her "humour, upfront confidence and general personality". However, she's not expecting to make any friends in the mansion, revealing girls don't warm to her or appreciate her sharp tongue!
Jessica, 30, VIC
Instagram: @jessica_brody
Sarcastic, sassy and outspoken, Jess says her ideal man would be someone who's "driven and independent but also loving, romantic and kind".
Perhaps the juiciest dating story we've heard to date comes from the makeup artist who recently revealed "I once went to get a drink and came back to find my date kissing another girl."
Jessie, 30, WA
Instagram: @jessie_ashley__
After refusing to give online dating a try, Jessie says she's hoping a TV show will help her find the man of her dreams.
"I've never really had to date in this social media era and I don't like the sound of it at all," she said. "It scares the daylights out of me."
Jessie described her dream date as: "A drive out into the hills. Wine tasting, good food and live music."
Julia, 28, NSW
Instagram: @itsjuliahyde
The 28-year-old children's entertainer— who's been single for six years—describes herself as driven, creative, loyal, authentic and emotional.
"It's about time I go on a date," she said, before revealing her ideal date would be a picnic under the stars!
Keely, 27, QLD
Instagram: @keely.spedding
The bubbly blonde says she's "very low maintenance".
"You just need to make sure that I am fed and watered every couple of hours and I will be happy as can be," she said!
And by the sounds of it, Keely will be the mediator on this season of The Bachelor.
When asked how she'll handle confrontation in the mansion she said she'll "probably bring a plate of food and have a cool and calm discussion with that person".
Kristen, 24, QLD
Instagram: Doesn't use social media
After recently returning home from a two-year stint in China, when Matt spoke two words to Kristen in Chinese during their first encounter, the 24-year-old was VERY into him!
Mary, 31, VIC
Instagram: @maryviturino18
The Brazilian beauty— who's mum to a five-year-old girl— says she's not here for a man who can't commit.
"If he was another Honey Badger I'm like... I'm out, bitches."
Monique, 26, NSW
Instagram: @moniquemorley
The blonde fashion designer says she's only had one relationship in the past, and was left heartbroken when she discovered her high school sweetheart was cheating on her. Now she's hoping to find a "tall, tanned and blue-eyed beach babe" but says she has "no idea what to expect" from the show.
Nikki, 24, NSW
Instagram: @nikkiferriswheel
She's bubbly, self deprecating and sarcastic, but Nikki says there are a couple of traits that might make Matt Agnew run in the other direction!
"Aside from my man voice, maybe my dodgy fake tan when it is due for a revamp and I look like a tiger loaf that has been sitting on a Woolworths shelf for 45 years."
The 24-year-old student has a heart of gold, revealing she set up a charity supplying therapy pillows to cancer patients after her mum passed away last year.
Rachael, 23, NSW
Instagram: @rachaelarahill
Personal trainer Rachael says she's going to be "the next Keira Maguire".
"I'm very outspoken and I call a spade a spade," she told 10 daily. "Like if I don't think something's right I'll stand up for what I think."
Renee, 25, NT
Instagram: @reneejbarrett
With a passion for motocross and spearfishing, Renee is hoping to meet a man who loves the outdoors. And when it comes to the perfect date, she says she likes to keep it low key.
"Take me to a beach to watch the sunset with a good wine and cheese platter."
Sam, 29, VIC
Instagram: @samroyceee
"I'm just planning to be myself and hopefully Matt likes authentic, down-to-earth girls," the public servant says of her strategy for the show. Her deal breaker's include arrogance and someone who "smothers" her!
Sophie, 25, VIC
Instagram: @soddo
She's ready to take down her online dating profile and finally fall in love!
"I've tried online dating and met some wonderful guys, but we just weren't right," she said. "If I met the right person and we both wanted the same things, for sure," she said, "I don't believe I need to be married to be happy."
Tara, 25, VIC
Instagram: @taraamaree
It's been two years since Tara says she felt a connection with another person, admitting, "I feel like dating these days is predominantly done using mobile phone/apps and I just find it so impersonal," she said.
She's "looking for someone who is genuine and honest, who knows what they want in life".
Sogand, 30, NSW
Instagram: @Sogand_m__
The Persian goddess took Matt's breath away when she asked him to repeat after her, without him realising she'd just gotten him to propose.
